Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County Executive, is actively campaigning against wind energy projects off Long Island's coast, particularly targeting the Empire Wind 1 project. He argues that such initiatives, including windmills and battery storage, threaten local wildlife, the fishing industry, and provide little benefit to residents. Blakeman's stance reflects a broader resistance to green energy projects in his jurisdiction as he aligns with local advocacy groups and expresses a desire to protect the coast’s environment.
We don't want battery storage facilities in Nassau. We don't want wind turbines off Nassau. We don't want power lines for these facilities running through Nassau.
I'm opposed to the Empire Wind project. Long Island gets the burden and none of the benefits.
